DAWNRIDER - "THE THIRD CRUSADE"

Third album from one of Europe's most solid doom bands. Dawnrider of Portugal aren't out to reinvent the hammer here, and to be honest, when I'm in the mood for DOOM METAL that is not what I want!
They play heavy, rocking doom with a nice bluesy edge and satsifying, fat production. Nice use of organ, particularly on single "Cry Of The Vampire", which has a real Paul Chain/Death SS sound to it.
Europe never gave up on doom and Dawnrider remind me a lot of the bands coming out in the early 2000s like Violet Vortex and Well Of Souls, proudly holding the banner aloft! This one will most definitely appeal to fans of the last BLOOD FARMERS album, treading a very similar sound to the American legends.
